But being a celebrity perhaps has its perks, as he later returned to Snapchat to say he’d managed to bag himself a ticket for the concert and it was DEFINITELY worth it!

A gushing Schofield told fans: “Omfg!! This show is AWESOME! 100% total recommendation. One of my favourites ever! #sassy.”

And that’s high praise coming from a man famous for his musical theatre background!

Phillip also went backstage to meet the cast and shared a photo to Instagram beaming with delight as he posed with the six actresses who play Henry VIII’s wives and their stand-in.

He captioned it: “The six wives of Henry VIII (with Grace on the end who covers all the roles!) I LOVE these ladies … hang on, there’s 7 in the pic.. beat ya Henry.”

One fan joked: “Always lucky in the middle of ladies!”

Six, written by Toby Marlow and Lucy Moss, is described as a “histo-remixed pop-concert musical” which gives all six wives – Katherine of Aragon, Anne Boleyn, Jane Seymour, Anne of Cleves, Catherine Howard and Catherine Parr – the chance to tell their side of the story.
